What Turns a Man’s Head Doesn’t Catch His Heart

Men are built to appreciate and look at attractive women. When a man’s head turns every time an attractive woman walks by, you might think that physical appearance is the most important quality he seeks in a woman. While a woman’s physical assets catch a man’s eyes, it’s who she is on the inside that can catch his heart or turn him away. High quality men want more than eye candy and sex. They want a woman who is beautiful on the inside.

Six Ways to Let Your Inner Beauty Shine

It’s still important to put effort into your physical appearance because in order to catch a man’s heart, you need to catch his eyes first. As you’re becoming your best physical self, focus on being just as beautiful on the inside. Here are 6 ways to let your inner beauty shine and catch his heart.

1. Be Confident

Confidence is a very sexy quality in a woman. When you are confident, you give off the aura that you are enough. When you are enough, you approach love from a place of wholeness, and attract men who are mentally, physically and emotionally healthier.

2. Be You

Instead of behaving and acting in ways that you think pleases a man, just be you. A man can sense if you’re comfortable in your own skin. Being comfortable with yourself, quirks and all, helps a man let his guard down. Your quirks make you uniquely you. The right man will find your quirks endearing.

3. Be Sincere

Don’t play games with a man’s wallet and heart. A smart man can sense if you’re into him or if you’re into what he can give you. Dating and being with a man whom you sincerely like, has the potential to blossom into a great relationship.

4. Be Open Minded

Instead of forming negative judgments based on a man’s superficial traits, be open-minded so that you can learn who he is and what he’s about. When you’re open, you may discover that he’s a diamond in the rough.

5. Be Present

Instead of being preoccupied with unnecessary thoughts, be present when you’re with your man. Being present makes things more enjoyable and lighthearted. These are two qualities that men find beautiful in a woman.

6. Be Passionate

Find and do the thing (or things) that you’re passionate about. The aliveness you feel when you’re passionate is contagious. It’s inspiring to a man and lets him know that you’re living a life you love. This takes the pressure off of him to feel responsible for bringing excitement into your life.

Practicing these 6 ways to let your inner beauty shine will catch his heart. He will ask you out on more dates after the first one or your connection will blossom into a meaningful relationship.
